I have an internal website, with 4 files. The extensions are .zip .exe .dat
..ini
I can see all the files in the browser, but only the zip will open/download
if I click on it, the others I'll be given a "page cannot be found" and a
HTTP Error 404 - File or directory not found.
Internet Information Services (IIS)
i need these files to dowload any ideas?
Zip them.
IIS is probably blocking the file name (as those files could damage or
compromise the server if they ran on the server).
In IIS 5 it's "URLscan" responsible for doing this blocking.
In IIS 6 it's the extensions manager area.
You could allow the extensions instead, but some file types might get opened
instead then, or the user might not know what to do with them. So it's
better to zip them up and let the user extract them on the other end.

Hello,
I assume that you want your visitors to download these files, and not run
them on the server. If this is correct, then you need to add a MIME type
for these extensions.
I have instructions how to do this for the .exe extension:
